In this teaching note literature about the psychic
distances in terms of differences in language and cultural background will be
the main focus. However, differences in political-economical contexts can also
be seen as psychic distances because the political-economical contexts are to
some extend defined by the macro-culture of the current country. The teaching
note is organized so that the first section introduces you to more literature
about Internet and distances. The next section, which are considered as the main
section of the teaching note present literature about psychic distances in terms
of differences in language and cultural background. The last section considers
background material that can be used to reflect over in problem formulations and
a like.
